Quick answer: The core of a private label equestrian range is riding leggings with silicone grip, base layers, show shirts and jackets. Choose high-stretch nylon-elastane fabrics, decide between full-seat and knee-patch grip, and start with 30 pieces per design to test the market.
Equestrian clothing is one of the fastest-growing niches in sportswear, driven by riders in the UK, Europe, the USA and Australia who want technical, good-looking kit for schooling and competition. This guide explains the main products, fabrics, grip options and how to launch a private label riding range.
Quick answer
Start with riding leggings in 4-way stretch nylon-elastane (about 240–300 GSM) with silicone grip, phone pockets and a high waist. Add base layers and competition shirts in moisture-wicking fabric, then softshell or quilted jackets. Check the dress rules of the discipline you sell to, such as dressage, show jumping or eventing.

- Base layers and shirts: lightweight moisture-wicking polyester, sometimes with UPF sun protection
- Winter riding tights: brushed fleece-backed fabric

Sizing
Offer women’s UK 6–20 (or XS–XXL), plus children’s sizes if you sell to pony club riders. Riding leggings need a longer back rise so they don’t slip when riders lean forward. See our size chart guide.
Branding and packaging
- Silicone logo grip, reflective logos for winter riding, embroidered logos on shirts and jackets
- Woven labels, hang tags and branded polybags for retail and online stores
